How do I improve the quant section to excel in the CAT?

1) Look at the last 6 year papers which have been released for CAT.

2) Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Just analyse the solutions to understand what went wrong and where. Also understand what went right and how you can build up on it…

3) Practice. Lots of it

4) Clear up your basic concepts and leave the handicap of calculators. Practice loads of Mental calculations

5) Practice

6) Make your own approaches to solve questions

7) Practice

8) Don't let Quant scare you. Learn to enjoy numbers!

9) Practice

10) Last and most important: Be flexible in your thought, your approach. Rigidity is not the style for CAT

Follow it rigorously. I know it is an arduous task but it worth investing this time.

But nothing worth having comes easy!!!

Every year, a question of which coaching institute to join comes in my inbox

My 2 cents, rest is your call

My suggestion, as I warned couple of other places, is to not be persuaded by any persons answer.

You know the key CAT training institutes in your area.

Visit every one of them. Check them out and see which ones should your particular requirements.

For example if you have a weak base, identify which institute will provide you a better chance of getting your doubts solved by the faculty? Which institute offers you one to one interaction with the faculty? Which institute has more comprehensive practice material? Which institute offers flexibility of classes ability to attend makeup classes? And all that.

Nowadays, there is also the aspect of ONLINE vs. OFFLINE - ONLINE is great is you are a self driven individual who can manage time and resources by themselves. If you need continuous prodding to get a work done and prefer a personal touch, OFFLINE is the way to go for you.

And then make your own decision. Because what may suit one may not suit another.

Well if the answer to Life, Universe and Everything is 42; be joyous, we have crossed 42² = 1764 members as of now!

Thanks for being there and listening to my 2 cents!

PS: If only solving QA was always this easy

PPS: First one to give me the "42" connotation without googling will get a free CV review. BUT I EXPECT YOU TO BE HONOURABLE!

A lot of good ideas are never executed because they are killed even before taking a single step

Try. That's the least you owe to yourself!!!

I understand a lot of you may be disappointed with your scores yesterday.

But what you need to understand is that this is not the end of the road. There are still many many more options that you have. That one day, one score, one percentile does not define you!

If it were so, then other B schools wouldn't have existed. There is sufficient demand, but its up to you to make yourself a part of the Supply side!

Regardless of whatever percentile or score you might have, start preparing dillingently 💯 for your GDPI process. Aim to convert whatever calls you receive.

Whatever calls you do receive, make sure to attend the GDPI process. Even if you don't convert, it would be a good practice for the next attempt!!

मेहनत लगती है
सपनो को सच बनाने में,

हौसला लगता है
बुलन्दियों को पाने में,

बरसो लगते है जिन्दगी बनाने में,
और जिन्दगी फिर भी कम पडती है, सब कुछ सम्भव हो पाने में।।
